Manual test tasklist for MacOS

• Double clicking a KCL file opens ZMA.
  • One note is that trying this on a file in my ~/code directory resulted in a freeze. However, doing the same with a file in a sub-directory of my ~/code directory worked fine.
• The application opens
• User can sign in
• A project can be created
• A sketch can be draw (line, arc, rect, circle).
• Lines and shapes can be modified.
• Select face and extruding works.
• Reloading the application reloads the sketch.
• Can create additional files and directories.
• Models can be exported to a file.
• I repeated some code done with point-and-click by typing in the code editor and everything was responsive and ok.
• The auto-updater works.

Manual test tasklist for Windows

• The application opens
• User can sign in
• A project can be created
• A sketch can be draw (line, arc, rect, circle).
• Lines and shapes can be modified.
• Select face and extruding works.
• Reloading the application reloads the sketch.
• Can create additional files and directories.
• Models can be exported to a file.
• Double clicking a KCL file opens ZMA.
• I repeated some code done with point-and-click by typing in the code editor and everything was responsive and ok.
• The auto-updater works.

Note: I ran into a windows smartscreen 'run anyway' dialog when installing the build, which is suspicous. Need to look into that before releasing

Manual test tasklist for Linux

• The application opens
• User can sign in
• A project can be created
• A sketch can be draw (line, arc, rect, circle).
• Lines and shapes can be modified.
• Select face and extruding works.
• Reloading the application reloads the sketch.
• Can create additional files and directories.
• Models can be exported to a file.
• I repeated some code done with point-and-click by typing in the code editor and everything was responsive and ok.
• Double clicking a KCL file opens ZMA.
• The auto-updater works.

Notes:

• the icon shows up with appimaged installed
• double clicking doesn't work cause we don't file associate by default I think on linux but right click - open with - ZMA worked!

Recreating the tag, as @franknoirot pointed out the tag wasn't pointing to 4423ae1 as intended but to an early v28 tag I had created for testing a few days ago

[pierremtb]

https://github.com/KittyCAD/modeling-app/actions/runs/12035958661 is the new workflow to track for testing

[pierremtb]

Resetting the list above for Linux

[pierremtb]

Ready for testing again

[pierremtb]

Note: I ran into a windows smartscreen 'run anyway' dialog when installing the build, which is suspicious. Need to look into that before releasing. Not blocking but unsettling.

[pierremtb]

Also checked updated, looked good on windows

[pierremtb]

Well I'm not getting the smartscreen dialog with v27 (instead getting 'verified publisher'). Definitely a regression on windows codesign between v27 and v28. Need to investigate

https://github.com/KittyCAD/modeling-app/actions/runs/12035958661/job/33560283646 attempt number 2 showing 'successful' on codesign steps for windows compared to the first one. I deleted the v0.28.0 draft release so that the script can recreate it with the new builds. Let's see

https://github.com/KittyCAD/modeling-app/releases/tag/untagged-4be34d798fdb857be91f got recreated :)

  • Implicit conversion of round numbers to integers
  • Add round stdlib function
  • Add tangentToEnd stdlib function
• Selections Refactor

Added

• Offset plane point-and-click user flow

Things that went wrong today:

1. I tagged the wrong commit at first (I had a local tag already from last week testing) 🤦
2. Silent codesign flake on windows that caused smartscreen warnings on smoke tests, need to make sure it fails loudly next time so we can catch it much earlier Silent failure in signWin.js #4582
3. The publish-apps-release workflow didn't trigger as intended, had to manually delete and recreate the release to work around a bot-triggering-bot GHA limitation. New issue at Update release process to trigger publish-apps-release properly #4586
4. Testing path still in the publish-apps-release workflow instead of the prod one, already fixed on main Fix publish path in release bucket #4585
5. Curly braces without backticks in the release notes, which caused the website to delay rendering, thanks @franknoirot for debugging this. Working on it now.
